AHRQ Health Care Innovations 

Exchange 

AGENCY: Agency for Healthcare Research 

and Quality (AHRQ), HHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Submission of 

Innovations. 

SUMMARY: To support its objective of 

accelerating the diffusion and adoption 

of innovative health care delivery 

changes, the Agency for Healthcare 

Research and Quality (AHRQ) recently 

launched version 1.0 of the AHRQ 

Health Care Innovations Exchange 

(HCIE) Web site, http:// 

www.innovations.ahrq.gov. The HCIE is 

a new initiative designed to support 

health care professionals in sharing and 

adopting innovations that improve 

health care quality. Version 1.0 of the 

Web site is focused on stimulating 

creativity and innovation and will serve 

as a virtual place to which innovators 

will be encouraged to submit their 

innovations and experiences from 

which potential adopters can begin 

learning about the nuances of 

implementation. 

In Spring 2008, AHRQ will deploy 

version 2.0 of its Health Care 

Innovations Exchange site making 

hundreds of profiles of health care 

service innovations of varying degrees 

of novelty and scientific rigor accessible 

to the public. Version 2.0 will also offer 

expert commentary; stories; tools; 

lessons learned; ‘‘change packages’’— 

sets of innovations implemented 

simultaneously; expanded content on 

implementation; and opportunities to 

learn and network. 

To build the database of innovations 

profiles, AHRQ invites submissions of
